PURPOSE: To characterize the quantitative properties of the optokinetic response (OKR) in zebrafish larvae as a tool to test visual performance in genetically modified larvae. METHODS: Horizontal OKR was triggered in 5-day-old zebrafish larvae by stimulation with projected computer-generated gratings of varying contrast, angular velocity, temporal and spatial frequency, and brightness. Eye movements were analyzed by a custom-made eye tracker based on image analysis. RESULTS: The gain of the OKR slow phase was dependent on angular velocity, spatial frequency, and contrast of a moving grating, but largely independent on brightness. Eye velocity was a logarithmically linear function of grating contrast with a slope of approximately 0.8 per log unit contrast. CONCLUSIONS: The OKR of the larval zebrafish is not scaled for stimulus contrast and spatial frequency. These properties make the OKR a valuable tool to quantify behavioral visual performance such as visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and light adaptation. This behavioral paradigm will be useful for analyzing visual performance in mutant and gene-knockdown larval zebrafish.

Ready In
This is the same recipe that my mother has made for years, and it is often said that it was this pudding that helped her snag her husband. I have noticed a few problems people have been having with the recipe, and as usual it is not problems really with the recipe, but with the person/and or technique used while making it. (Don't mean to sound harsh.) First off, we always use skim milk in the recipe, and have never had a any problems. Secondly, NEVER use banana pudding to make this. Though I'm sure it would taste ok, it just isn't like the old fashioned stuff, and if you use the banana flavored pudding you always will have that fake banana flavoring floating around in it...YUCK. Third, one 5 oz. package is plenty to make this pudding thick. Just make sure to use ice cold milk when mixing it. Fourth, when creaming the cream cheese. It must be at room temperature before you can cream it or add the other ingredients to it, otherwise, you will get a lumpy mess. It is very important to cream it well with the sweetened condensed milk, because the air incorperated into this adds body and thickness to the overall dish. Finally, the dish that the recipe says to display the pudding in is merely a suggestion. This isn't a baked recipe, so it won't matter at all what type of dish you use. I prefer a large decorative glass bowl, and that way it can add a little more style to the whole dinner just by looking at it, and after that first bite, none of your guests/family/friends will
Instead of the one larger box of instant vanilla pudding, I used one small box of instant vanilla pudding and one small box of instant banana cream pudding. I also replaced half the milk with heavy cream and used a tub of the extra creamy Cool Whip instead of the regular Cool Whip. Also, instead of the whole can of sweetened condensed milk, I used less than half because I didn't want it to be too sweet. I also crumbled some Nilla wafers on the top for a better presentation. I also used a smaller pan (I used a deeper, square casserole dish) and layered it in two layers instead of just one. I also put the sliced bananas in some diluted lemon juice to prevent browning. It is absolutely delicious and looks very appetizing!
I just have one comment. People who give reviews and have changed the recipe are not helpful at all. For once, I would like to see reviews based on exactly how the recipe is written.

Say you want to start going to the gym or practicing a musical instrument. How long should it take before you stop having to force it and start doing it automatically? The surprising answers are found in Making Habits, Breaking Habits, a leading psychologist's popular examination of one of the most powerful and underappreciated processes in the brain. Although people like to think that they are in control, the vast majority of human behavior occurs without any decision-making or conscious thought.
Drawing on hundreds of fascinating studies, psychologist Jeremy Dean busts the myths to finally explain why seemingly easy habits, like eating an apple a day, can be surprisingly difficult to form, and how to take charge of your brain's natural "autopilot" to make any change stick.
Witty and intriguing, Making Habits, Breaking Habits shows how behavior occurs more than just a product of what you think. It is possible to bend your habits to your will - and be happier, more creative, and more productive.
©2013 Jeremy Dean (P)2013 Gildan Media LLC
"Making changes does take longer than we may expect - no 30-day, 30-pounds-lighter quick fix - but by following the guidelines laid out by Dean, listeners have a decent chance at establishing fulfilling, new patterns." (Kirkus Reviews)
"An accessible and informative guide for listeners to take control of their lives." (Publishers Weekly)
"No Sugar Coating Allowed"
The author makes it very clear that he hates the idea of quick and easy permanent change books and theories. In a way he is so outspoken about how difficult and how long new habits take to become established that it almost makes it seem "why even try?".
This book is filled with information and data from many, many research studies. It is a bit dry at times and often discouraging as well. I agree with several other reviewers that it was unnecessarily long winded in parts. All that said--I think the author is correct that the quick fixes and fantasy ideas presented in other books are really not helpful in the end. Far better to know up front what you are up against when you are trying to build positive or eliminate negative habits. Forget about the notion of "21 days to a new you". Think instead about 300 plus days instead!
At times I felt overwhelmed by too much information and too much negativity over all. Plus the overview of when habits become mental illness was pretty dark. To me, a very sobering look at change and the underbelly of habits.
The book does contain helpful points and methods. Just don't expect a positive and upbeat listening experience. A serious book about habits.
"Get the actual book"
I purchase unabridged audiobooks expecting that NOTHING is left out of the book and that it is truly unabridged. So when I come to a point in the book where the narrator says "described in detail below" (Seriously? Are you not aware there is no "below" to an audio recording?) I am instantly disappointed. In this case, I found the first such instance in the 9th chapter after the description of the WOOP process. At that point, I determined to stop reading and return the audiobook. Will purchase the kindle version instead.
Tangential, eclectic, avid listener... favorite book is the one currently in ear.
"Kick in the pants for me..."
I've a few habits I want to go away and a few that I'd like to add. This book held my attention nicely, helped me understand a few things I didn't and gave me a kick in the right direction. It feels like it is well researched, the voice engaging and some interesting supportive examples. It feels like attending a 200 level psychology college class with a good professor. I got it on sale and it was well worth the few bucks I spent.
I am personal development junkie looking to increase my overall experience in this beautiful world we live in!!!!
"Interesting view in why we do what we do"
I have two gripes with this book; First, the author uses a ton of psychological theories and examples to back up his points. There isn't anything inherently wrong with this, however, by about the 3/4 mark the studies were getting boring and I fully understood that he did his research without needing to listen it. Second, although I found this book quite interesting it was quite repetitive. The idea of changing our habits is quite complex, however, it could have been summed up without needing to beat the same ideas and concepts over and over.
The guy reading the book felt a little dramatic at first and the content of this particular book does not call for it. By the end though, I really enjoyed his reading style.
We are less in control of our habits and behaviours than we think.
This book is a fascinating look into why people do what they do. It gives great insight into our own personal habits, as well as those of other people. For anyone looking to learn more about why people make the choices they make, this book is a wonderful place to look.
"Small steps really do add up..."
"Making Habits, Breaking Habits" describes what it takes to form new habits and how to optimize success along the way. The book takes on the 21 day "rule of thumb" that is so often referred to (hint: while it varies based on the habit type, the 21-day parameter generally isn't correct). What I found especially useful is how Dr. Dean describes actionable ways one can increase the likelihood of successful habit forming, by habit type. He also reinforces the concept that multiple small changes can add up to big benefits. This book is a worthwhile listen for anyone trying to develop or reinforce habits, whether it's stopping smoking, eating healthier, exercising more routinely, etc.
Always strive for an open mind.
"Excellent, in-depth, research supported insight"
The objectiveness, the worldly points of view; examining all sides of the matter in a very convincing and mind-opening way.
"We need the habit to raise above itself."
Hopefully the one regarding happy habits....
Excellent performance! A great listen that has left me with many inspiring and hopeful thoughts.
"A great book"
Good storyteller, fun to listen to Jeremy enjoyed the book and will listen to this book again. Thank you for your inside hope you have a continuation on how to break habits two!
"A learning experience"
The book was a little slow and methodical and some parts I did not listen as well but there was definitely some good information and new, helpful information.
"Great background for self-help program"
An entertaining summary of hundreds of psychological studies that explore and explain the creation and altering of human habits. this is the science behind the self-help gurus.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Buckyballs (or Buckminsterfullerene), the soccer ball-like structures of 60 carbon atoms, have a new playmate. Previously only theorized, researchers from Brown University in the US and Shanxi and Tsinghua Universities in China have been the first to experimentally observe a boron "buckyball."
Since the discovery of buckyballs in 1985, it had been speculated that other elements might also be able to form hollow molecular structures, with boron considered a prime candidate. Sitting next to carbon on the periodic table, boron has one less electron than its neighbor, meaning any boron cage would have a different number of atoms.
Lai-Sheng Wang, a professor of chemistry at Brown, and his team had previously created one-atom-thick disks made up of 36 boron atoms that shows potential for being stitched together to form a graphene analog, dubbed borophene. This work suggested that clusters of 40 boron atoms were abnormally stable when compared to boron clusters made up of a different number of atoms.
Using high-powered supercomputers, Wang's colleagues modeled over 10,000 possible arrangements of 40 boron atoms bonded to each other. As well as estimating the shapes of the structures, the computer simulations estimate the electron binding energy of each structure, with the spectrum of binding energies serving as a unique fingerprint for each potential structure.
The team then moved onto experimental work using photoelectron spectroscopy to test whether the binding energies of boron clusters in the lab matched any of the potential structures generated by the computers.
This involved zapping the chunks of bulk boron with a laser to create a boron atom vapor. Using a jet of helium, this vapor is then frozen into tiny clusters of atoms, with the clusters of 40 atoms isolated by weight before being zapped with a second laser. This knocks an electron out of the cluster that flies down a long tube with the speed at which it travels used to determine the electron binding energy spectrum of the cluster.
The experiments showed that 40-atom-clusters form two structures with distinct binding spectra, which were a match for the spectra of two structures generated by the computer models. The first was a semi-flat molecule, while the second was the buckyball-like spherical cage that the team has dubbed borospherene.
Where buckyball molecules feature 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons of carbon atoms arranged in a way that provides a smooth spherical surface, borospherene consists of 48 triangles, four seven-sided rings and two six-sided rings. This results in a shape that is a little bumpier, with several atoms sticking out from the sides.
Wang says it is too early to say what applications the molecule may lend itself to. However, due to boron's electron deficiency it is expected that borospherene would bond well with hydrogen. For this reason, Wang believes one potential application would be hydrogen storage, with the tiny boron cages serving as safe houses for the hydrogen molecules.
The new molecule is described in the team's paper that is published in the journal Nature Chemistry.

Hello Darren:
Boron is very important in the maintenance of cellular membranes.
40 is an important number because of the 8 x 5 lattice ( 13 ).
8/5 is a Fibonacci transition, marking the step between the first 5 numbers in that sequence to the second 5 numbers. 1,1,2,3,5, 8,13,21,35,55 ( counting on your fingers, the thumbs are the 5's, 5&55 )
40 thieves, a war party has 40 participants, 40 days and 40 nights of fasting.
The hexagonal opening in the Boron image would allow a cube to enter. This geometry is extremely important as the article entitled: "The Man in the Squared Circle", located here will reveal:
This cubic geometry is also explained as the LQCD here:

seems we're back to being depressed fan.
May be third of a back to back to back for the Spurs, but only a back to back for Parker...if Duncan rests the spurs still have big men who can hurt the sixers cause, well, league average big men can hurt the sixers cause the closes to league average they have is Elton Brand.
I not longer am confident this team can beat a team with good record.
Any word on who's definitely out for SA tonight?
Sounds like no Duncan tonight...so a win won't count.
No Neal or Splitter, either.
boris diaw would start for duncan then, which means he will probably put up a triple double
LOL, back to being Depressed Fans. (and rightly so...)
All the more reason a no Duncan win will still mean heaps.
Rested legs should give the Sixers the win against a depleted Spurs team on a back to back to back. If they cant win this game, I fear for Doug Collins health.
If they do win I am sure you will make some sort of excuse...even with their best player not playing
I know you like to live in a state of delusion, let this serve as your alarm clock.
Maybe Tom is a closet Knicks fan ?
@preston76 #Sixers Andre Iguodala is a late scratch (left knee patellar tendonitis) tonight vs. Spurs. Jodie Meeks will start in his place.
well this sure would be a great game for ET to be the best player on the floor...and Sam Young, let's see what you got!
Well, he'll have to be better than Jrue (which he usually isn't) to be the best sixer on the floor, let alone the best player on the floor
I hope this Iguodala injury is not serious or lingering.
With Meeks starting, I will keep my remote close to hand.
I hope not either, but tendinitis never sounds good to me.
Props to Pop by the way for smartly resting players when he doesn't have to due to their age and the compressed season.
Wonder what kind of foul call disparity there will be in this one, since only one of the Spurs' big names is starting...
is that joey crawford i see?
Jrue on the post. Last time we'll see that?
Elton with a missed long two, after which Hawes fails to pull down the board...sure hope Brian's not watching this one...
Jodie, there's a rim up there guy.
EB did a great job on not getting the 3 sec call there.
nice pass spence
Heck of a pass there from ol lumber.
can jrue keep up this defensive energy? Wonderful so far.
get MeEks out. NOW
oh hey a board by Hawes! ...and Meeks can't drop the shot, immediately followed by Hawes not coming down with the board, awesome
Know how bad Spencer is - he has Matt Bonner on him iso'd up and what does he do? Shoots a jumper of course. heh
Spike Eskin @SpikeEskin:
Our center is our best passer, our two guard is our best rebounder and our three point shooter can't shoot. Our 2011-'12 Sixers!
The clumsy fundamental.
For Brian, sissy hook this time on Bonner.
Jrue has a different look on his face tonight. Very determined.
Another vintage Hawes quarter.
Hawesome with another challenging post matchup and he actually fades back on a lefty hook. Side of backboard. No really...
9 baskets, 2 assists, that's no good
The Spurs just kill us with pick and rolls. It isn't just Parker, but it's everyone. I'd prefer a strong trap, because this laying ten feet off won't cut it.
Trapping has been their best bet vs these types all year, but he only goes to it late for some reason. Too late sometimes.
good pass thad
Lucky to be down 7 with how easy they are executing. Need somebody that plays the 5 to sack up. That very well may have to be Thad.
will need pixie dust to pull out this one.
Sixers D without Iguodala looks so loose.
ok. scratch that. Spurs sans Parker have no point play. looks even now. wonder what will happen when the starters come back.
Look at Lou, fighting over screens to make Dentmon have to refuse it. That's something.
Good block S Young. Keep battling here, at least it finally looks interesting.
Sam Young playing the AI9 role might be fun to watch here
I just don't see how they can't get layups when Voose, Hawes or EB is defending the screener.
Thad has to do better than that shot on the fast break.
anyone thinks Lavoy Allen gets some burn?
This'd be a good game for that.
Whether he fucks up or not, I'd feel good to see Lavoy be dusted from the ashes.
Hawes with the aggressive drive to the hoop, stopped short of going up strong with it, but still. Everything being relative of course.
Doug's made the adjustment. Hawes tried to hedge and got blown by. Nice charge taken by Thad.
Boy, Spence was some help on that screen there wasn't he? ha
Atta boy Thad, I just love his demeanor.
Spencer with the block on Parker, Captain Jack with the board. That was much better by Hawes.
sam young!!
wow need some of that athleticism Sam
Sam Young with the smackdown!
18-1 run.
I hate to clown on Spencer so much. On second thought, no I don't.
He has such great spring in his step on his jumper. Great job big fella, great job
How do two of you let Blair beat you down the floor? Come on....
Come on Turner, 4 guys collapsed on you. Kick the fucking ball out for a three.
Who's fault was that? Evan or EB's?
That's the next step for Turner if he wants to play with any kind of consistency. He's gotta kick the ball out for threes when people collapse on him. Just because you beat the first man doesn't mean it has to be a shot. Making the easy play.
I always liked Sam Young.
Tech on Duncan? heh
was that a pass or shot/no call foul?
Thad is a man. He's one serious joker on the court.
Weak closeout by ET on SJax. ugh
Lou for one! Didn't get a stop though...
what the fuck is Evan doing helping off of Captain Jack so much
Well, good job out of the called 20 sec timeout, they inserted Spencer buttafinger Hawes and he coughs it up
annnnndddd Spencer looks straight ghost-like on help D and Manu jams!! heh
That shot by Lou blew. He should get chewed out for that. So, so lazy.
Speaking of lazy, Spencer Hawes everyone!
jesus, doug's plays out of timeouts absolutely suck.
They're stuck w/ Vuc for a few, there's no absolute way they could even consider the idea of re-signing Hawes, his near look-a-like. Please no.
I don't enjoy watching this team when Hawes is on the floor. Between the Charmin-soft defense, the absence of any post game whatsoever, and the constant whining to the refs, he ruins the viewing experience for me.
He will never completely ruin the viewing experience for me, but I feel the same exact way with everything else you said.
meeks can dunk!
A meeks dunk!
Then a big block by EB!
We shot five whole free throws that first half, don't even ask how many they shot.
Our starters have blowed playing together tonight. Both runs.
Bonner punks Spencer on the lumbering, jolting to the maple, closeout.
Jrue charged with a TO instead of an assist thanks to spencer's frying pan hands
EB got fouled!!!
Thad whirling dervish!!
Starters go out, bench comes in, good things happen
Great spin move and finish by Thad, more of that please.
Man, Diaw looks really chubby.
You know, I love EB's effort, but he is a brutal pick and roll defender. Getting torched all night here.
Don't need that three Lou...
ugh Blair again
Hawesome baby. yeah right
Hawes is such an embarrassment. There is no need whatsoever to bring this guy back on board.
Down 11 after 3, terrible quarter right there.
At least now I won't feel bad about switching to Mad Men at 9.
Because Spencer makes me laugh too damn hard... like on that last play of the quarter where he flailed demostratively to 'attempt' to grab a board. Not grabbed, but attempted. LOL
Really, what I don't understand is how Hawes played during the beginning of the year. I understand he couldn't miss and whatnot, but he wasn't an absolute zero on the defensive end either. He wasn't Dwight Howard or anything close to him, but he really played inspired all around basketball for the most part.
I agree, I've just chalked it up to he just had an unusual pep in his step at times. Unusual being emphasized heavily.
Whenever I was discussing the Sixers earlier in the season on other forums I never once used the excuse "Well they are playing without their starting center." This is because Spencer Hawes is a fucking stiff and should never be a starting center
Damn Lou
and Parker pushes off, no call
It should be automatic suicides for Jrue tomorrow for passing it to Spencer in the paint. At any time.
Seems like Thad has taken a decent amount of jumpers tonight. More than he probaby should've, I guess.
So if this is even close to what we'd look like without Andre, even though he'd fetch back the most, I'll pass.
They've scored 23 pts in 20 mins.
ugh, the playoffs may can't get here quick enough, to go ahead and get this over with, I know that's being pessimistic, but still, they look really bad even before injuries.
Fugly, but resembling overhaul status.
Tune the snare.
Game threads are supposed to be fun.
I just caught the last three minutes live and read the game thread. No reason to go back on the sling box to catch the rest, right?
Can't wait until they trade Iguodala and re-sign Hawes to overhaul this team.
I just hope Thorn and co don't play the "continuity" card next year. This team needs to beg, borrow, and steal to get front court defensive toughness and rebounding. There are very few options in free agency so they need to be bold and creative. I don't think this front office is either.
Flame-broiled mediocrity.
As depressed as we are around here, just be glad we're not Curry, James, McKie, and Collins. It's an accomplishment for them just to cope.
Watching OKC-Miami, its really obvious how far off the Sixers are. Every play for these teams is a drive, a three, or free throws. I wish the Sixers would just focus on the future and teach these guys to execute good offense, even if they aren't very good at it.
As I understand it, good offense revolves around standing the softest center in the history of. The league 22 feet from the hoop and letting him either make plays or take sissy shots. Okc and Miami haven't gotten the memo.
I'd rather see the Sixers miss the playoffs altogether than be an 8 seed and get crushed by the heat....again.
And i'd rather see you no longer trolling on .this site
I don't see that as a trollish comment right now. The team is in a tailspin going on months. I honestly think it's better for the long-term health of the franchise to collapse in order to get Doug fired. He's worn on the players just like he did in Detroit and Washington. It sure didn't take long.
You think an eighth coach in nine Yeats is the right choice for this team?
The franchise lives in mediocrity because it lacks franchise players. Not because coaches have held ET or others back.
They don't have good enough players. Miami and OKC can execute at a Hugh level because they have talent.
grow up son.
What's with all the hate of late? Everyone can state their own opinion whatever that opinion is. Whether one is overly optimistic or overly pessimistic is irrelevant.
Rednecks. Hatfields & McCoys. Polarities. Territorial disputin': Turner, next "Magic" vs. Turner, loudmouth basketcase. Iggy, undetected-by-the-stupids superstar vs. Iggy, monotonous trade item. Brand, admirable block of granite vs. Brand signing, blockheaded and bombastic. Jrue, Gary Payton II vs. Jrue, 1 scoring-head wearing 2 left shoes. Lou, swell scorer vs. Lou, swelled-head mistake-maker. Collins, Mr. Chips/sage motivational master vs. Collins, tirelessly chatty ball of yarn, unwinding. Organization's close future: gleaming, with a little luck! vs. dispiriting, house of cards/treadmill of mediocrity.
Comin' up, 2 "Happy Meals": Luke Walton's Cavaliers & Washington Generals (who play @ IND night before).
Man, why didn't the sixers trade for Tebow?
Got too full of themselves too quickly...That's gotta be mental. they've got too much talented to roll over like dogs at home against the Knicks. they should have been embarrassed about that performance, among others...Then again, they pop up and rip a team...too erratic...I don't expect much from them in the playoffs. Maybe not having that one great player is what they lack.
Mike Wilbon said this about an NBA team today, and it wasn't the sixers, but seems like it could have fit them as well...
Which team?
I would say Indiana. Wilbon would never say the Sixers "have too much talent"
He's used the descriptions--"scrappy" and "plays hard"--but never "too talented".
It was the pacers
You read Wilbon chats? He's as insightful as Magic Johnson with my NBA experience.
He's one of the smartest people workiing for ESPN (not that that says a whole lot) and an actual journalist...it's more interesting than half the stuff written on the web.
I read most ESPN NBA chats, except the team specifics ones, and all the ones on hoopsworld, you get a sense of how the sixers are viewed that way and sometimes some chestnuts drop that are interesting...and I read K-Law chats cause dudes funny.
BTW - not for nothing - but my impossible dream scenario involves the clippers imploding and trading deandre jordan into the cap space created by waiving elton brand.
I'm just saying
Sixers Monday video: Iguodala on his knee and Collins on his team's lack of connection in loss to the Spurs:
amar'e out indefinitely with a buldging disc
And the knicks already used their amnesty...that's just awesome
The Sixers got a win against the Celtics after their players only meeting. Is it me, or does a players meeting always seem to lead to one good effort followed by a regression to whatever ills prompted the meeting. Has a players only meeting ever effected a lasting correction of course?
I think you're lending causation that isn't really there...I mean they bitch slapped the celtics without a meeting as well
Video: Doug Collins on Andre Iguodala's knee, facing the Cavaliers Tuesday and the play of Sam Young:

Google Emails Come Back to Bite in Java Patent Case Over Android
Several potentially damaging emails could make things rough for Google if the patent infringement lawsuit Oracle has brought against Google is tried, particularly in front of a jury.
Google may face an uphill battle defending itself in a jury trial against Oracle if some potentially damaging emails are introduced at trial. Google's defense in its patent infringement battle with Oracle is that the search giant did not infringe-and in particular, did not willfully infringe-Oracle's Java patents. However, new documents that have been made public from early hearings in the case suggest that Google may have pushed on with a Java strategy despite not having secured a license to use the technology in building Android."What we've actually been asked to do (by Larry and Sergey) is to investigate what technical alternatives exist to Java for Android and Chrome. We've been over a bunch of these, and think they all suck. We conclude that we need to negotiate a license for Java under the terms we need."Lindholm would be in a position to know. He was a Distinguished Engineer in Java while at Sun Microsystems, which Oracle acquired in 2010 and gained Java in the bargain. Lindholm also worked as part of the original Java development team at Sun, known as FirstPerson, and he was an original member of Sun's Java Products Group. Lindholm also is very likely one of the individuals Oracle is talking about when it says in its complaint against Google:
"On information and belief, Google has been aware of Sun's patent portfolio, including the patents at issue, since the middle of this decade, when Google hired certain former Sun Java engineers."Of course, Google has since hired James Gosling, the father of Java, who has acknowledged that at least one of the patents in the case is his. But Gosling did not join the company until well after this lawsuit had been filed. Meanwhile, FOSS Patents blogger Florian Mueller first pointed out another potentially detrimental email for Google. The email, another one by Rubin, reads:
"If Sun doesn't want to work with us, we have two options: 1) Abandon our work and adopt MSFT CLR VM and C# language - or - 2) Do Java anyway and defend our decision, perhaps making enemies along the way."That email could be read different ways. Is he talking about Java, the open language or the underlying platform for which Google would need a license? If so, why talk of doing it "anyway" or speak of having to defend the decision? Perhaps Google simply did not want to abandon the efforts it had made in Java. And what is to say that adopting Microsoft's Common Language Runtime (CLR) and C# would be any easier or go any smoother for the company? Oracle, in its complaint, contends that "Google's acts of infringement have been and continue to be willful, deliberate, and in reckless disregard of Oracle America's patent rights." After reading the emails, U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who is presiding over the case, raised an eyebrow and warned Google that if it is found to have willfully infringed Oracle's patents it will face stiffer penalties. After reading the last Rubin email, Alsup told Google's attorneys: "You are going to be on the losing end of this document with Andy Rubin on the stand. ... If willful infringement is found, there are profound implications for a permanent injunction. So you better think about that." Some folks are making hay over a 2007 blog post by former Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz in which he praises Google for Android. Schwartz said in his post: "I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of others from Sun in offering my heartfelt congratulations to Google on the announcement of their new Java/Linux phone platform, Android. Congratulations!" Oracle has since deleted the post. Meanwhile, at a recent hearing, a Google attorney acknowledged that Google turned down a $100 million deal with Sun in 2006. The attorney said the deal was not specifically about about patents. For its part, Google needs to find some damaging emails from the Oracle side.

Benefits of BreastfeedingMother's milk is the best food possible for the newborn baby. Breast milk works as an all in one nutritional supplement. Breast milk works as a thirst quencher, medication, food supplement and for the mother it works as a weight loss program with no equal. Although, there are formulas that can be used for replacing breast milk, they do not have the same supplements as the natural milk from the mother. The American Academy of Pediatrics "...recommends that babies be breast-fed for six to 12 months. The only acceptable alternative to breast milk is infant formula." (Williams, 1995). Breast milk is a perfect combination of nutrients and antibodies for an infant's fast growing system. Breast milk is made up of fatty acids, water, lactose, and antibodies. The antibodies in breast milk help the baby fight off many illnesses within their environments as well as help them build their own immune systems. Without these antibodies babies tend to get sicker more often, and it can take the babies longer to recover from these illnesses. Since the food is coming directly from the breast rather then a bottle, there is less likely a chance of bacterial infection that can come from a bottle not having been properly sterilized.
One of the great benefits of breastfeeding for mothers is the ability to loose the extra weight gained quicker. The mothers body uses alot of the stored food in the body and converts it to milk for the infant. Breastfeeding also helps stimulates the uterus to contract back to its original size (Williams, 1995). This quick recovery, at the least will help the nursing mother with her self esteem. Breastfeeding also brings the infant closer to the mother. Through breastfeeding, the mother and the child can build a very strong emotional bond.
New born infant's sight is only between 12 to 15 inches. When a baby is breastfeeding, the baby will be able see his or her mothers face from that distance, as well as get accustomed to the smell of the mother. Fathers might be a little jealous at this stage, because there seems to be no need for them at this time. "One study... showed that the babies who received no breast milk had IQS 8 points lower on average than those who received breast milk." (Dremer, 1997, para. 6)One other great benefit of breastfeeding is lowering the cost of everything. Although, the mother will be eating more compared to her normal pre-pregnancy stage, the cost of purchasing extra food for the mother versus buying formula is obvious. Formula tends to be extremely expensive without any of the extra benefits of real human milk.
On top of the formula cost, a baby that feeds from breast milk will less likely get sick. This will mean less medical bills.There are occasions where a mother will not be able to breastfeed the baby. Those are very rare but they do happen. As an example, HIV is one of the very few diseases that can be found in breast milk. If breast milk cannot be used, then formula is one of the better solutions. Formulas were created by studying the makeup of breast milk.
Another way of finding the right nutrition for the infants has been through donor milk programs. There are some human milk banks available for individuals who cannot breastfeed their babies. Although this is not a cost effective way of feeding a baby, it is probably the next best thing compared to the biological mothers milk. Donor milk costs approximatly 3 dollars an ounce, which makes it cost prohobitive to most people, but they do say that they will not turn away any baby in need, no matter what.

Hydraulic model calibration for extreme floods in bedrock-confined channels: case study from Northern Thailand
Kidson, R., Richards, K.S. and Carling, P.A. (2006) Hydraulic model calibration for extreme floods in bedrock-confined channels: case study from Northern Thailand. Hydrological Processes, 20, (2), 329-344. (doi:10.1002/hyp.6086).
Full text not available from this repository.
The majority of the huge annual sediment load of the Yellow River in China is transported by a few hyperconcentrated sedimentladen
floods. Being hyperconcentrated, these floods are still so ''starved'' as to entrain enormous volumes of sediment from the bed,
triggering quick and extensive bed-tearing scour. In the recession period of the floods, river blockage might occur as characterized by
an abrupt halt of the flow. The physics of these fluvial processes has remained unclear for several decades. Previous hydrodynamic
models were built upon simplified conservation laws and are applicable only for processes with weak sediment transport. A complete
shallow water hydrodynamic model is deployed here to reveal new insights into the phenomena. A self-amplifying mechanism of the
interaction between the flow and bed scour is identified, which explains how bed-tearing scour occurs. River blockage is ascribable
to the longitudinally positive pressure gradient due to a non-uniform distribution of sediment concentration. The spatial and temporal
development of the system of flow, sediment transport and morphology is far more complicated than represented by previous
models that have evolved from fixed-bed, single-phase hydrodynamics or involved a capacity description of sediment transport. The
present approach may facilitate a better understanding of active sediment transport by flash floods in ephemeral desert rivers and by
subaqueous turbidity currents.

If qualified for the job, the salary level he mentions that Steve makes seems reasonable to me. I also think pilots & policemen should make more money than they do. Maybe I just think everyone should make more money!!

TELL CITY - The Perry County News has added a second news box in front of its Main Street office.
Beginning today, one box will hold Monday papers, with Thursday editions in the other. The second box will allow issues to remain in boxes for a full week and serve readers who miss buying a paper before the next issue is published. Those readers have had to enter the office to purchase those issues. The boxes will be labeled.
We all want safe schools: for our kids, our communities. Illegal drugs, drug sellers and weapons have no place in classrooms, hallways or lockers. That's why we were happy to hear that police dogs from several departments, including Tell City's own canine, Jago, visited Tell City schools last week. The dogs and their officer handlers led their dogs around lockers inside the schools. Outside, they led canines around vehicles in parking lots.
As a small boy home from school on a snowy day, I liked to follow rabbit tracks in fresh snow. That seemed like a fun way to spend a morning but it didn't do me any good last week as I tried to dodge a snowdrift next to my house.
The rabbit that left the trail outside my sidewalk, had he been watching, would have laughed his cold, cottony tail off. I didn't think it was all that funny.
Indiana's long-term care system is out of balance. Studies confirm that most Hoosiers prefer to receive long-term care services and support in their home, or in a home-like setting, instead of a nursing homes. Yet according to our Division of Aging, Indiana is ranked 45th among all states in 2009 in the amount of dollars spent on long-term care services to support Hoosiers in the home or community.
FERDINAND--Perry Central's varsity and JV boys basketball games at Forest Park, scheduled for Monday, Feb. 15, have been postponed to Wednesday, Feb. 17, at the same time.
This is the second time these games have been postponed due to snow.
PERRY COUNTY - Weary residents reached for their snow shovels once again this week as a midwinter storm dumped from 5 to more than 8 inches of snow on most areas of the county Monday night and Tuesday, canceling classes at schools and triggering a handful of accidents.
A Leopold woman suffered head and internal injuries in a one-vehicle crash near Oriole on a snow-covered Indiana 66.
INDIANAPOLIS - An Indiana Department of Correction decision to restructure basic-education services for adult offenders will affect the jobs of about 115 educators employed at state facilities, including Branchville Correctional Facility in Perry County.
The Department of Correction recently announced it had completed a review of how it provides basic education programs to incarcerated adults and decided to partner with Ivy Tech Community College as its educational provider.
TELL CITY - The percentages of gold and silver ratings students earned at solo-and-ensemble contests Saturday at Southridge High School made this "one of our better years," Tell City-Troy Township School Corp. Music Director Barry Reasoner said Monday.
Additionally, 10 of the students who competed in solo categories and three ensembles earned the right to advance to state-level competition Feb. 27 in Indianapolis.

As promised, post one of a three part Seussercize series in honor of Theodore Geisel's birthday!
readers of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, his preferred
pseudonym, know that his imagination ran wider than the English
language. He often created creatures out of nonsense words. Ever meet
the Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz? How about the Fiffer-Feffer-Feff? Some of his
characters have become so well-known in English that they require no
illustration. Think of the Lorax or the Grinch, even the Sneetches.
Prior to Seuss, none of these animals existed, but thanks to his
creativity and vision, we accept them as a part of our modern-day lexicon.
I invite you to create a creature of your own. You may introduce your
creature in literary form with a poem or short story, or you may choose
to name your character and illustrate it instead. Please leave me a
comment or a link to your own page so that I can see your fabulous
imagination at work!
writercize: Create a brand new
creature out of a non-sensical word. Think about what you want your
character to look like, what it likes and dislikes, how it behaves!
"read more" for a character named the Hiccurpeeze that's been living in
your writercizer's brain since her early days as a babysitter. This is
but a small snippet of who he is. Poor guy has been lying dormant for
about 20 years, but one day, the writercizer hopes to get to know him
better and give him a story worthy of sales and illustrations.
writercizer sample response:
Oh, have you heard of the Hiccurpeeze?
The monster who hiccups and burps with a sneeze?
Grand as a house, he's tame as a mouse,
but has trouble finding a friend.
For when his big tummy rumbles and rolls
he finds that he tends to offend.
With a hic
and an urp
and a showering nose,
kids tip-skip away quickly up on their toes.
Were it not for unfortunate allergies,
he'd no longer be a lonely Hiccurpeeze.
He'd change his name to something nice,
like Johnny
or Robert
or Ryan.
Then the kids would all see that he's really kind,
sweet, funny, and brave as a lion.
Won't one of you now, pretty, pretty please,
be a good friend to poor Hiccurpeeze?
Give him a chance.
Play a game, share a giggle.
Jump up and down,
sing out loud, dance and wiggle.
Look past the hics,
the urps,
the runny nose.
For inside you'll a monster
with the heart of a rose.

The Old Scout At 96, the Wonder Still Has Plenty to Say July 09, 2008 I stopped by to visit an old friend in Chicago last Sunday, and by "old" I mean 96 years but with all his faculties intact, which makes him a natural wonder you could exhibit on the carnival circuit for two bucks a head, children under ten admitted free with a parent: SEE MAN BORN ON DAY TITANIC WENT DOWN —HE TALKS, HE MAKES SENSE. The Wonder was sitting in a deep chair under an Einsteinean burst of white hair, nibbling blueberries, his walker handy and a bottle of J&B, when I arrived around noon. Newspapers were strewn on the floor that the Wonder reads to keep close tabs on the Cubs and Barack Obama. I offered to show him how to read the paper online. "That'd be like trying to bounce a meatball," said his son, across the room. "You think Obama can do it?" the Wonder asked me. "It's in the bag," I said. He frowned. He's worried. Too good to be true. I got the idea that he was planning to hang on until November and find out for himself. How does it feel to be 96? "Lousy!" says the guy who knows. "I'd like to check out." His legs are gone, his bowels are cranky, and all his old friends are dead. But he still has plenty to say, which is good if you're deaf and can't tune in to the conversation. You had better seize the floor, otherwise you'll turn into a potted palm. So he was recalling with relish the days of Prohibition when Capone and Bugs Moran ran Chicago and a cop wouldn't bother you if you slipped him a tenner and a Smith & Wesson was considered standard wearing apparel. That was the modus operandi. The old man loved to say "modus operandi" and drew out the syllables in a style suggestive of Edward G. Robinson. He had Robinson nailed. As he yakked, I studied him to see what 96 is like since I'm thinking about going there myself and not stopping along the way. All the folks who hang out in gyms ought to stop in at the Wonder's house and pay the two bucks and have a look. He'd tell them how much he loves cigars and Scotch, and that his only exercise was sex and carrying a suitcase. The irony is that when you're old you feast on your memories and if you spend too much time on exercise, you may get old and not have many. He was talking about a con man named Titanic Thompson who in 1928 nailed the famous Arnold Rothstein in a rigged card game at the Park Central Hotel in New York to the tune of three hundred grand. "Titanic Thompson was the leading card mechanic of his day," the old man said out of the corner of his mouth. "He knew how to shuffle a deck and change the weave." Rothstein was the guy who put the "organized" in organized crime and fixed the 1919 World Series. He was no novice. He realized he'd been snookered and refused to pay up, which was not sporting of him, so they shot him and on his deathbed he refused to rat on the killer. He told the cops, "My Mudder did it." Meeting the old man, you're shaking the hand that shook hands with the man who knew the man who beat Arnold Rothstein at cards. There is a certain grandeur to that. Grandeur—ruined grandeur—is what a 96-year-old has to offer. It's like coming across an old zeppelin crashed in the jungle. A grand old flying machine, the epitome of luxurious travel, a great silver blimp, and here it is in a swamp enfolded in vines and all the helium gone, but the grizzled old captain lives on in the grand salon. He declines to be rescued. There is still a year's worth of canned beef and biscuits and fifty bottles of a 1938 Margaux plus a case of Scotch and a hundred-year-old cognac. Call off the chopper, he is just fine and chooses to stay with his ship. He totters to the door and bids farewell to the search party and gives his benediction: Every night when the sun goes down I say a blessing on this town: "Whether we last the night or no, Life has always been touch and go. So stick with your modus operandi. Ingenuity! Guile! Art! Good luck. Good bye." © 2008 by Garrison Keillor. All rights reserved. Distributed by Tribune Media Services, INC. |

We've been keeping track of Dylan Bundy's firsts because he's started so well — he didn't give up his first hit until his fifth professional start — so why not keep track of the first run too?
It came last night. It was unearned. And it wasn't exactly a case of him getting knocked around: the runner reached on a wild pitch strike three, and came around on a couple of errors. Overall, Bundy struck out eight batters in three innings. He hit his pitch count, however, and had to come out.
So, through six professional starts, Bundy has now pitched 20 innings, given up that unearned run, has allowed only two hits and has struck out 33. Think he's ready for the next level Mr. Duquette?
- randygnyc - May 8, 2012 at 10:12 AM
The Yankees should just take this kid.
- rockthered1286 - May 8, 2012 at 11:34 AM
You mean the yankees who just got held to 3 runs over 3 games and went 1-2 in their series v. the O's, then proceeded to play the terrible Royals and split? Yea they could use some pitching, but this kid is untouchable. They can stick to trading talented bats for injured pitchers.
- atworkident - May 8, 2012 at 10:19 AM
LOL… Now we'll see how he handles adversity.
- lapsncaps - May 8, 2012 at 10:34 AM
He just needed to work from the stretch position. No one has gotten to second base, and before the game only two people have reached first. It was all a ploy to work on some things he couldn't unless someone got on base.
- samu0034 - May 8, 2012 at 10:48 AM
I've got Bundy on a dynasty fantasy team, and I'm incredibly excited about him. But after the last few years, I have next to no faith that the Orioles pitching coaches won't find a way to screw him up.
- Jeff J. Snider - May 8, 2012 at 11:10 AM
You know who hates that Dylan Bundy a-hole? Cole Hamels.
- realbenrush - May 8, 2012 at 11:16 AM
AHHHHH the wheels have fallen off. Trade him for Suppan now. (sarcasm oozing out)
Give him a few more starts where he is, then test him at Single A. Possibly a late AA run if all goes well. A late 2013 debut or 2014 please, our rotation is good right now (but all of us O's fans are still terrified of it). Future looks bright for this kid, as of right now at least.
- rockthered1286 - May 8, 2012 at 11:38 AM
Hell, even Matusz couldn't get those numbers in low Single A.
- lostsok - May 9, 2012 at 12:39 AM
It should be noted that Bundy is starting games and pitching just 3-4 innings per start. That's not to dis what he's done, which is amazing, but just to put in perspective that he's still a long, long way from the majors. They're not going to ruin this kid.

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2013, Colm Toibin's The Testament of Mary is the moving story of the Virgin Mary, told by a novelist famous for writing brilliantly about the family. From the author of Brooklyn, in a voice that is both tender and filled with rage, The Testament of Mary tells the story of a cataclysmic event which led to an overpowering grief. For Mary, her son has been lost to the world, and now, living in exile and in fear, she tries to piece together the memories of the events that led to her son's brutal death. To her he was a vulnerable figure, surrounded by men who could not be trusted, living in a time of turmoil and change. As her life and her suffering begin to acquire the resonance of myth, Mary struggles to break the silence surrounding what she knows to have happened. In her effort to tell the truth in all its gnarled complexity, she slowly emerges as a figure of immense moral stature as well as a woman from history rendered now as fully human. Praise for The Testament of Mary: "This is a short book, but it is as dense as a diamond. It is as tragic as a Spanish pieta, but it is completely heretical...Toibin maintains all the dignity of Mary without subscribing to the myths that have accumulated around her". (Edmund White, Irish Times). "Depicting the harrowing losses and evasions that can go on between mothers and sons...Toibin creates a reversed Pieta: he holds the mother in his arms". (Independent). "A beautiful and daring work...it takes its power from the surprise of its language, its almost shocking characterization". (Mary Gordon, New York Times). Colm Toibin was born in Ireland in 1955. He is the author of six novels, including The Blackwater Lightship, The Master, both of which were shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and Brooklyn, which won the Costa Novel Award, and two collections of stories, Mothers and Sons and The Empty Family.

Longlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize, Colm Toibon?s novel relates the story of Jesus Christ?s crucifixion and the days afterwards through the eyes of his ?mother?, Mary. While in hiding after the killing of her son she also tells of her view on events in the life of her son; the Wedding at Cana, the raising of Lazarus amongst others. At approximately 30,000 words and only 104 pages long, what The Testament of Mary lacks in size it makes up for in the sheer power of its vision and imagination. The book conveys the anger, frustration and loss that a mother feels after having lost a child. Not only that but witnessing the death of her son in such a barbaric and ritualistic way. This loss sees Mary only referring to her son as ?him? or ?our son? or ?my son? as she cannot bring herself to call him by the names that are used by His followers; followers who now watch over Mary and seek to protect the legacy of her son. If you are a non-religious person like me don?t let the novel?s subject matter blind you to what is a truly stunning book. This is a novel that works on so many aesthetically designed levels that to simply categorize it as a religious novel is to miss all the other heavenly beauty that sweeps across this thought provoking novel. Having not yet read the rest of the Man Booker longlist I won?t speculate as to whether it will take the prize but for the moment it should at least make the short list. http://thevoyageout-bookreviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Publishers Weekly, 2013-11-25Meryl Streep takes on one of her biggest roles to date, voicing the mother of Jesus Christ in this audio edition of Toibin's novel. As Mary, Streep's voice reflects the tragedy that befell Jesus at the hands of the Romans. Her tone is one of regret and loss, but her performance also captures Mary's loyalty, steadfastness, and dedication. Though Mary wants nothing to do with the disciples who pen Christ's story, she cannot help but reminisce about the past. Streep is the perfect choice to bring Mary to life, and the result is an engaging listening experience. A Scribner hardcover. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Publishers Weekly, 2012-07-23Toibin (Brooklyn) has chosen Jesus' mother as the narrator of his poignant reimagining of the last days of Christ. Mary doesn't think her son is the son of God; in fact, she's convinced that he's simply running with the wrong crowd, "Something about the earnestness of those young men repelled me... the sense that there was something missing in each one of them." But when she recounts the story of Lazarus's return from the grave, she presents no other explanation than that of his sisters, that Jesus was the one who brought him back. At the wedding at Cana, she sees Lazarus for herself and finds that "he was in possession of a knowledge that seemed to me to have unnerved him; he had tasted something or seen or heard something which had filled him with the purest pain...." This beautiful novella turns on who or what Mary should believe about her son's life and death-and on a mother's grief: "I saw that once again he was trying to remove the thorns that were cutting into his forehead and the back of his head and, failing to do anything to help himself, he lifted his head for a moment and his eyes caught mine."

Hmm. My experience at the Compound on Saturday. How to describe.
I met fifty gajillion noders. Okay well actually only more like fifty. And I remember every damn face. And even a couple real names. (What good are those?) The mood of this party was loud, hyper, and silly. I didn't really get to have anything approaching a meaningful conversation with anyone, which was completely fine because everyone seemed like people you could have one with, yet who'd rather be having fun. I sound a lot more intelligent when I'm not IRL anyway.
I took four color rolls of pics, plus two more that didn't happen because I'm so stupid I forgot how to load my own damn camera. I had no flash, but since I used 800 speed film they all exposed well. However, I couldn't focus correctly either and very few of these images do not reflect a state of hazy drunkardism. Odd, since I was dead sober. Okay, so where to begin?
My place is ludicrously close to the Compound. You can walk it in about half an hour, but I took the subway and arrived at around 8:30. Jane and Chris, who I already knew, greeted me at the door dressed all formal-like. Jane (whose black dress ended up on Mike about an hour later) literally took me by the hand and swept me down the hall past Jared, and into the main room. My oh my. Makes my place look like a dump. But I have DVD and surround sound fuckers!! =P
Half an hour early and there were around twenty people there. Maybe half of them were non-noders, and the number of non-noders did not increase greatly as the night wore on. I said FIE on thee, non-noders, I do not wish to meet thee. My goal was to introduce myself to every single noder there and I think I came pretty damn close.
I goggled at the wall of jp's robots, by which sat David and Josh. They told me what little they could about Florida but it appears to have been largely untranslatable. At this point I also met Gamaliel and JayBonci. Big chucklebears. Jeremiah and I discussed the sequel to The Dark Knight Returns (which we both picked up at a Frank Miller signing -- yep, knew him too).
At 9 pm sharp the lights went down in the city and it was funkay. mkb, Jess, and mkb's non-noding friend who was also a dj, arrived and hauled decks and vinyl up to Bad Andy's loft space. Andy, freshly shorn, was also dressed formal-like (but this would change DRASTICALLY) and was stuffing his large hookah for the fragrant tobacco pleasures of himself and others.
Chris #2 and Jenny, who I knew already, showed up with shark teeth for Josh #1 (who I ALSO knew already) and mini-dinosaurs for some non-noder, trinkets courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Natural History. Chris had his acoustic guitar with an amp, and brought it up the ladder for to jam with the DJs. Keith (that dude I've known since before E2 existed) also took a turn on the strings, with equally pleasurable results.
Keith also brought Jack (another friend of ours from school), who was psyched to finally meet fellow subway freaks Jared and Chris #2. We also got our practically non-noder friends Ethan and Rene to come, and they were highly impressed by the quality of the "geek" party.
I talked with Meta quite a bit (she knows I can't spell or pronounce her real name), though she seemed content to mostly sit and observe. Once galt showed up, those two got pretty cozy, and I took some pervy pics which have mysteriously disappeared from my prints. One thing about Meta: When she laughs, she uses her whole body, which you don't see enough. Just don't be standing too close, or you could get hurt.
These words also apply to Dee, who arrived oh-so-fashionably late with Scott and Josh #3 (who was withdrawn enough for me to assume non-noderdom). Uh, so like I was saying, around 5:30 Dee starting flinging her balls around the room and whacked me in the head twice. She used kink as a defense and I claimed lack of consensuality = abuse. All she had to do was ask. She also pierced Carla's tongue but then you probably know about that.
Um um um. What else. Met Jared #2 (I got a good pic of him napping with ->), Bart (whose face lit up when I asked him about his Star Wars Legos -- for some reason I didn't get to tell him about the zillions that I have), Miller (twice, and his name is pronounced "reindeer"), drunkenmonkey (who had the closest thing to a nametag out of anyone), Jenn (noders share both of her names), Aaron (he didn't get to be tied up this time), April (it's pronounced like "on sate"), Kara (um...crap, I didn't really talk to her much, did I) and Suzy (that thing through her lip is cool, but how does she make out with it in? Dangerously, I guess).
D'oh! I forgot to mention the birthdays of Kit and Rob. They each had a yummy cake and wielded their respective knives with skill. Actually, in the low light they looked a little similar and I almost mixed them up a couple times. Uh, but I didn't. I gave Kit my roll of black and white 400 speed film and I hope he did some good with it. I know I wouldn't have.
Eric gets his own paragraph cuz he's got mad leet ninja skillz like that. His long hair obscured his face in all of his homenode pics of himself, which made me suspect he had some huge hideous scar. Unfortunately not. He was one of the few people there who knows my noding personality (I think, kinda, maybe) since he gave the first C! to one of my highest ranked writeups. Anyway, though I didn't really get to say it, it was pretty cool to meet him. Funny catbox nonsense and useful information goes a long way.
A little after four we were all still going strong but many of us needed foodal nourishment. We took a stroll down to the corner deli where Christa and me could not get the mean man to serve us eggs even though the menu EXPLICITLY STATED that he could. I discovered that time travel will solve all your problems. I brought back a box of cookies for all but mostly me.
Who else, who else. Jennifer and Matt both showed up late and my but they're a matched set of flirtballs. She claimed to have come straight from work but that top makes me dubious. Both smart and funny. Didn't get to talk to them enough. (But then those three things were true of everyone here.) Even later (like 5:15, seriously), was Dave, who I met before and who I think is named after his pan.
qousqous wins the award for Most Miles Travelled to Party. He came here from freakin' Oregon. And since Andy is shorn, he must cede the afro crown to qousy, who resembles Sideshow Bob more than anyone I've ever shaken hands with. Except without all the attempted murder. Uh, I hope. Now crux and spacklequeen (who is a dude), they seem like the quiet type.
Thanked Cow Of Doom personally for inventing the node tracker, and met his girlfriend snowy, who crashed pretty early. I am stunned she managed to sleep through that racket.
I was downstairs talking to sockpuppet when the green Saran Wrap got broken out. Bikini tops for Meta, Chii, and Moxie (hey, that sounds like some twisted sorority). And then, horrifyingly, diapers for Bad Andy and Josh #2. Andy had enough spare room in his to store his cigs. Deduce what you will.
Though they were on the guest list, I did NOT meet nocodeforparanoia, ailie, silveriana, or RimRod. More the fool them!
Okay. So now I have named every name and this must needs be said. As a boringly stereotypical heterosexual male, I impartially observe that many of you female noders is fly. And I don't mean that casually. I'm talkin bout Wowzers Jebus What the hell is she doing in front of a monitor all day when she could be fleecing a millionaire HOTTIES. And not just one or two, at least seven. It was all I could do to keep it together.
I stumbled out the door a little after 6, as noders began to hug the hardwood floor by the dozen. I was so hoarse I could hardly speak, but I couldn't stop grinning. So what did I learn? Everything. Peace and joy, people. Thanks so much, and I'll see ya real soon.

Your Honor, the prosecution rests. Surely the defendants will be barred from public office and choose a more humble career.
